OA. ^ News of Some Decisive Engagement Between the Two Opposing Armies In the Far East Expected at any Moment—Wild Rumors Afloat. New York, April 20—Grand Duke Cyril has just arrived her© on his way to St. Petersburg, says a World’s Jispatch from Harbin. His injuries an not severe. He gives the follow ing story of his escape, which was almost miraculous. At the moment of the explosion ol he Petropavlovsk the grand duke was >n the bridge, at the other end ol which was Admiral Makaroff. It -i i i.-icd a.- if the world, the skies, the waters were suddenly rent asunder and from the gulf arose a cloud ot blinding flame, which burst with a ulening roar into acrid, suffocating lumes. Scorchefl, blinded, choked, stunned 'yril recovered consciousness sufli- | tuntly to recognize that the Petro jiavlovsk was settling down by the head. The bodies of the dead sail- )i were iToaling from off the iore- •jastle deeT. wnleh was awash. All around Tay wreckage; fallen top hamp ter and scalding steam cut off the grand iTuki-'s escape by the compan ion way. He faTriny remembers that ho real- .zed the necessity of making his way ift. dTmly reasoning that there he was more likely to clear from her suction when she sank. He recalls clamber inc; down from the Bridge and making his way along the deck through the clouds of steam and masses of debris. He remembers ascending an Incline, with the ri.^Tng water, as it seemed, pursuing him intoa barbette in fthicn the water was already pouring with such force that he required all his strength to battle his way through it. However, he reacTTeH a gun port and dived down and outward with all the force of an a “*i-fe and practiced swimmer uni temples were burst ing wfTi tin- '-“Tort of retaining his breath. Then he struck upward. At last, the light came and he reached the air. While he filled his lungs he supported nimself on a piece of float ing wreckage, which he sie*ed and to which he assisted another struggling swimmer. Then grand duke looked around for the Petropavlovsk. She was not to be seen. The sea was quite calm, and, except for the gentle rise and fall of the woodwork to which he was clinging with Tils companion, he was quite motionless. There remained only a few swimmers, some floating wreckage and corpses. Ohio Solons Pause In Wark to Honor Dead Stateman. Columbus., O., April 20.—For the third time since the present session began Hie legislature paused in it work today to pay honor to Marcus A. Hanna, late senator from Ohio. The second week in January it elect ed him to a second term in the senate. A month later it adjourned out of respect to his deatn, and to attend his fune ral, and today the two branches met in joint session to hold formal memorial exercises and pay honor to his memory. The principal address was delivered by Senator Charles Dick, who is Senator Hantra's successor. Senator Dick said: “It is given to few men who have reviled and persecuted as ho was, to enjoy such a complete reversal of sen timent ahd to close their days in the' full sunlight of power, confidence and esteem. When Senator Hanna first entered the caplloi at W ashington the atmosphere was still full of suspicion, but his IranKness and cordiality soon dissipated all distrust. His greatest legislative achievement was turning a hostile majority against the isthmian canal to a decisive majority in its fa vor. “Senator Hanna was not merely a scholar. i7e was more than that He was a thinker who did not permit others to mink for him. He had no training in the art of public speaking but he believed what he said and . came with the easiness tha* carried conviction. “The greatest he aee< i 1 ; industi .a; oroM I vice !ay tn : better acii'minn I "He repeat- d would ratie r s< Prominent Alabama Merchant Victim.

RYDALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently 'jeen discovered that the germs that produce Malaria breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine. Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Kydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freein" them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and m^kes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

BAKER Lack of Definite Information. St. Petersburg. April 20.—1:49 p.m. —In regard to the reported purchase by Russia of four ships in the United States, it is now said that the deal was negotiated at Constantinople by General Wilaams, The agent of a Phila delphia sHTphuilding firm, and the Rus sian ambassador to Turkey, M. Zino- vieff. The admiralty still lacks definite confirmation as to the cause of the Pe tropavlovsk disaster. The authorities at Port Arthur evidently are not yet convinced tnat they have the true ex planation. The general staff here is divided between two opinions, a mine or a boiler explosion, although a few still cling to the theory that the bat tleship was sunk by a submarine boat. « ne boiler explosion theory is based on the knowledge that the Petropav- lov. k haTT been steaming at full speed and that her sudden slow down may have caused accumulation of pressure which burst her boilers. Those who accept the mine theory and they are in the majority, "believe that the ex pf< Tm of **i‘- mine detonated the mag azine which blew up before the boil ers. "ie mafii objection advanced against the mine idea is that the wa t-r where the catastrophe occurred is too deep for anchoring mines. 50,000 Russians on Yalu. Seoul, April 20.—11:45 a. m.—The Japanese authorities here admit that constant skirmishing is occurring be tween the opposing armies on the Yaln river, but they claim that no decisive action ha:- taken place up to date though news of such an engagement is expected at any moment. It is estimated that the Russians now have 50.000 men on the Yalu riv er. The wTTdest rumors are afloat, large ly from Korean soi rces, which are absolutely unreliable. bear upon “Measur you choose, his sturdy honesty shines prominently. The arts of demagogue he scorned. He hated all shams and artifice. He diu not win by intrigue. “My friends, these walls had scarce ly ceased to echo the applause which greeted his triumphant re-election to the senate when news of declining health came. In conflict with dis ease, Senator Hanna found an ad versary that he could not conquer. The end came. His mighty heart ceased to beat. A nation was in tears. “And so he passed away in the full ness of Influence, in the full posses sion of his splendid faculties; in the midst of a public career which gave promise of even larger usefulness, se cure also in the knowledge that he was known and honored by his coun trymen; that all misunderstand and misconception had passed away, looked up to by one vast set of inter ests as a shield and by the other as their friend.” Speaker Thomas,, of the house, said that Senator Hanna believed in the future greatness of this country, and in the doctrine of America for Ameri cans and that he taught those princi ples that lead to great industries. Though he entered public service late in life, he brought unusual knowledge o fthe people with him. He under stood the people and as the people came to understand him they thought the more of him.” He said Senator Hanna’s life and work would be an Inspiration to young men for many years to come. A man spends one-third of his life in bed. but it’s the other two-thirds that usually causes all the trouble. Are You a Dyspeptic?
